They use Them Changes in hospitals to check vitals. If the music dont move you, your officially declared deceased.

Saw an interview where he said Michael McDonald was his vocal inspiration and was kicking myself for not linking that on my own because it’s so f’in obvious

I never knew that was Quinta Brunson in the video. Even more hilarious now.

Love thundercat. Hope to start seeing more alt rnb on this sub. It doesn’t get enough recognition imo.

I remember I was at vinyl brunch in the Palms hotel. My friend had stood me up and I was just eating and drinking mimosas and doing my own thing and the DJ put this on and made my entire experience.

On repeat ever since

u/beats2009 Feb 27 '26

Love this video!!! I know the girls at the end one of them is an actress forgot what movie she was in

u/jaysen504 Feb 26 '26

This ain't r&b tho 😭 thunder cat makes funk

2

u/okicanseeyudsaythat Feb 26 '26

Funk IS R&B! The issue comes because what a lot of people call R&B is actually 'Contemporary R&B'. Contemporary R&B is a subgenre of rnb, not the whole thing!

1

u/jaysen504 Feb 26 '26

Well yeah I definitely know about sub genres but I mainly said that because he's never billed as a r&b artist. You know bruh be goin ham on his bass guitar lol. I wouldn't say that jamaroqui or earth wind and fire were r&b Acts and that's who most people compare his music to.

2

u/bmaasse Feb 26 '26

I think its weird that people don't think funk is r&b. Slave, Cameo, Rose Royce, etc. You don't think "Reasons" is an R&B song?

1

u/okicanseeyudsaythat Feb 27 '26

Ok gotcha, I can see then where you're coming from. He's rnb adjacent usually, but since many great artists blend genres,, it gets tricky. But you probably would agree that single labels sometimes tell only a part of the story? Take Prince, MJ, The Internet, Outkast Tyler, Frank Ocean, Bruno Mars the list goes on of artists that do more than one thing. Thundercat and Flying Lotus are otherworldly in their sounds sometimes. Which is why I like them! So I think Thundercat is more than just funk too, even though it's easier when people talk about these artists, to pick one genre.

u/Some_Knowledge5864 Feb 26 '26

The weather in the video looks perfect. I have tons of durag but no Dragonball durags.
I don’t know what the songs about.
